Funded Activity Summary

Development of Advanced Detection Systems for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. This project aims to expand significantly the range of isotopes available for accelerator mass spectrometry at the Australian National University to include the ability to detect manganese-53, nickel-59 and uranium-236 to ultra-sensitive concentrations. To achieve this, my extensive experience in fundamental nuclear physics will be exploited to develop a gas-filled magnet for the detection of mangnese-53 and nickel-59, and a time-of-flight detector to detect uranium-236. This project has applications in the topical areas of climate change and nuclear safeguards, as well as applications in the earth sciences and the management of nuclear waste.
